Are the Killers the biggest band to play in Middlesbrough?

Rolling Stones played their first ever gig outside the London area here in Middlesbrough on Corporation Road - could say we launched them onto their world fame. This was about a month after Beatles played on Wilson Street . Both 1963
 
The Beatles played in 1963 at the Astoria which is now the empire if I remember rightly, so they were obviously no where near as famous then as they went on to become.
They were still pretty big
When they came to Middlesbrough they had just had 3 top ten hits and were the current no.1, having been top for 7 weeks.
 
Didnt the sex pistols play at te rock garden under an alias name for some reason?

Or am I thinking they did somewhere else
